This chick is of unknown breeds, and unknown gender. If anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them!
Please note he has been having a few problems and therefore looks very straggly and has a cross beak, but he is slowly recovering.

We had a sitting hen but no rooster so we bought fertile eggs from someone that has a bunch of chickens of all breeds. Silkie is a possibility because another chick looks almost purebred silkie.

I do not for most, but by this time we know because some are crowing and some have long curly tails, which we are assuming are roosters.
I am including photos of two we think are roosters.
The black and white one is confirmed, he is crowing. The silkie mix is the same one as shown above, didn’t he(or she) have a glow up!

That’s what we were thinking. Unfortunately the black and white one is going to be used for meat, but the silkie mix is going to be a pet and so it doesn’t matter if it’s a rooster.
 
I just realized I replied with the wrong pictures to this post🤦‍♀️ The silkie in the pictures above is NOT the same chicken as I first posted. I forgot I posted asking about most of the new chicks and then later for this one. Whoops!
Here are pictures of the chicken in the original pictures.

I think pullet but can you get some pictures of where the saddle feathers would be if it was a rooster?
